Attractions near Camerano

Those who like to keep in contact with nature will have the opportunity to join trekking or biking guided tours to the Monte Conero Natural Park. Most of Italy's Adriatic coastline is flat, but Monte Conero, just south of Ancona, is a rare exception. It is an impressive limestone promontory that plunges into the sea and guards a handful of delightful little bathing resorts, featuring unforgettable bays and the prettiest beaches on the whole of the Northern Adriatic shore. As an alternative,... excursions can be organized to Monti Sibillini Natural Park, in the heart of Appennines. This mountain range hosts Monte Vettore (2,476 mts. ), one of the highest peaks on the Italian mainland; its wild tarns and windswept high plains provide a breathtaking landscape. The Frasassi caves are some of the most spectacular caves you are ever likely to visit. So far, some 13 km of limestone caverns have been explored and it is reckoned that they may run for up to 35 km. Only one and a half km of this crystalline wonderland is open to the general public, but it is still worth the trip. Equipped with walkways and theatrical lighting, the caves include the awesome Grotta Grande del Vento, Europe's largest single cavern. It is so vast that Milan Cathedral would comfortably fit inside and hosts some of the most extravagantly fanciful stalagmites and stalactites you are ever likely to see. Those who love Italian art and culture will be able to visit the Romanesque churches, the picturesque castles and medieval villages which make our region so unique and attend at least one of the numerous historical and medieval festivals. Art lovers cannot miss the opportunity to visit Urbino's Palazzo Ducale, the ancient residence of the Dukes of Montefeltro, a renowned Renaissance monument which now hosts Marches National Gallery. Marches' important monuments include the famous Loreto Sanctuary, San Leo Fortress, where Count Cagliostro was imprisoned, Gradara Castle and many other. From May to September, our 165-km coastline is a paradise for all water and watersports enthusiasts and for those who cannot do without the traditional "made-in-Italy" suntan. Located only 6 km. Away from Camerano is Portonovo, a bay of acclaimed beauty, characterized by the little Romanesque Church of Santa Maria (eleventh century), an old watch tower and a Napoleonic fort. Portonovo is a lovely seaside resort, very popular among local people, and renowned for windsurfing. The beach is part of a natural park, and its environmental charm has been preserved intact. South of Portonovo and below the steep cliffs of Mount Conero, you can admire the beautiful "Two Sisters' beach\". It took its name from two huge twin rocks rising from the transparent water. This lovely place can only be reached by boat or through difficult paths that descend steeply from the top of Mount Conero, offering breathtaking views. Sirolo and Numana are the two pearls of summer tourism. They are quite close to one another, but each has particular features of its own. Sirolo is smaller and more intimate, offering stupendous views of the coast and of the mountain, while Numana with its long, wide beaches, its bars and discos is the ideal place for those who love sunshine and the nightlife. For everyone, C. C.C. 's staff will be happy to organize visits to museums, evenings at the theatres. We organize visits of local wineries, with rich tastings of local wines and typical products, as well as "hands on" cookery courses. Our teachers will organize games and treasure hunts, where the students will check their progress in the Italian language and have fun, by trying to solve riddles and win the prizes. more
